And the convert to stamp goes into the stamps.…So these are how you create all of these parts.…So I'm going to go into here into select and just select…a tiny bit on the ear here, and use the right arrow key…to just expand my selection down.…For reference, that is under modify to expand ring.…Right here.…So now that I have this piece,…what I'm going to do is say convert to open part.…
